About McKinleyville

McKinleyville is centered around expansive, windswept sandy shores best exemplified by Clam Beach County Park. As the name suggests, Clam Beach is legendary for razor clamming during open seasons, drawing diggers across its flat, wide intertidal sands. Ocean surfing is popular along the exposed beach breaks, though heavy currents require experience. While rocky tide pooling is absent on these sandy plains, beachcombing and surf fishing are prime activities. Consulting tide tables is critical for a successful visit; harvesters must time their arrival to coincide with spring low tides to reach the exposed clam beds, and drivers or beachgoers must ensure high tides don't push surf up against the bluffs.
